This is an old revision of the document!
2024 All-Star Break arrives a few weeks after the halfway point of the season and while the greatest players head to Dallas, Rockem Sockem checks out where they are and which player best represents each team so far.
It is also good to remember that the person leading at the ASB has gone on to win RS every year since 2016…that is, until last year when Fatty led at the break only to lose to BK.
Like past years, I will pick the player who most represents your team at the break. At least it gives us something to occupy a slice of time during these days without baseball that counts….Let's do it in standings order…
1st Place: TIE: C-Town Highpockets: Bobby Witt Jr. Down on the Hoerner: Ranger Suarez
Amazingly we have a tie at the break. Both BK and your humble Commish have been in first for the vast majority of the 1st half but have done so in different ways. BK is The Champ, established blue blood and so is Witt Jr. performing like he was bred to. Commish's squad is a bit of a surprise, just like Ranger Suarez's season, which has dipped a bit towards the break, just like my squad as a whole, hence the tie. Will we tie for the title? Wait and see.
2nd Place: Burnes When I Torkelson: Salvador Perez
The preview had Bull's squad in third to start the season, and that is where he currently is after a hot start to July. Salvador Perez is old reliable as well and has been smoking the last week ranked 23rd overall, helping Bull clear himself into third place.
